The new swooping emblem is white with distinct maroon markings that are both floral and geometric. The figure is supposed to resemble the number eight for the number of stadiums that will host the soccer matches, and the infinity symbol, for the "interconnected nature of the event."

Culturally, the symbol resembles a woolen shawl that is typically worn by the citizens of Arab and Gulf countries in winter, which is when the 2022 World Cup will take place, according to FIFA.

The World Cup is normally held during the summer months. But world governing body FIFA decided to move the 2022 tournament to the Qatari winter, following fears over the intense summer temperatures in the Gulf state.

Qatar's winning bid was based on the premise it would be held in June and July, but FIFA was forced to backtrack over concerns for the safety of players and spectators.
